Michelle Williamson

BACKGROUND: I hail from anywhere and everywhere. My dad was Air Force and we traveled throughout my childhood. I was active duty as well and traveled as an adult. I then married Air Force and have been traveling since. I love to see different parts of the world and am thrilled to be here in the DC area. I have worked in the Health Club and Parks and Recreation environments most of my career. I have taught in church classrooms, government buildings, and outdoors. I have worked with clients that have "nagging" issues and clients who are training for a specific sport. EDUCATION AND CERTIFICATIONS: I have a Bachelor's Degree from Texas Tech University in Exercise Science with a minor in Nutrition. I am a Certified Personal Trainer and Group Fitness Instructor through ACE. I am certified through Physical Mind Institute for Pilates Mat, Cycling through Reebok, and Water through AEA. EXERCISE PHILOSOPHY: I think the poster girl/boy for fitness/wellness could be the 85 year old great-grandma/grandpa in the pool doing water aerobics and sharing the other half of the picture with a triathalete finishing a race. Both pictures share a sense of endurance, joy, strength, grace, and power which to me are the epitome of wellness. Personal Trainers are your guide to that life on the poster. From the first time you decide to begin a fitness regimen to wanting to reach for a new goal, trainers are there to teach and support you. You were designed to live life to it's fullest and I believe that fitness is an integral part of that.
